@@K33GRT7N Im sorry but the animation for the train is so awfully done, the drive rods are clipping through the cylinders, the tender isn't where it should be, the models are not accurate at all to what was used on japanese rail lines, just...so many issues and inaccuracies....none of these history channels ever manage to get trains right. tanks, ships, and aircraft yes, but trains? for some reason they're considered an afterthought...
Was that a Snatch style intro? Hahaha. I’ve done it myself. Did it on several TV shows. Your only missing the ramp speed snap zooms before and after the stills.
I love the “oceans style” assembly of the motley crew. I think it’s hilarious that the strike force is made up of submarine operators and not traditional soldiers.
the landing party was chosen one person from each section of the boat so that in the event they were all killed or captured it would not negatively impact the performance of any of the sections
There’s a whole book about the Barb by Fluckey himself called, “Thunder Below”. A passage is read from it for most submariners when they qualify for submarine warfare
USS Mudskipper does not seem to appear outside of this comment and a 50 Dollar book? The story of this video is about USS Barb. If you want to read abouth the story of the actual submarine that carried out hte attack look up the book "Thunder Below: The USS Barb Revolutionizes Submarine Warfare in World War II"
The actual story from the real commander is “Thunder Below! The USS Barb revolutionizes submarine warfare” by Eugene B. Fluckey I’ve read it 3 or 4 times now HIGHLY recommend it.
they wanted to make americans " *subscribe* to the ideals of fascism" " *like* the imperial army" and " *share* the glory of the emperor with the rest of the world"
@@PancakeBoiI'm pretty sure even in an alliance with Fascismo Italy and Nazi Germany, Japan didn't copy them, I heard there was a Japanese fascist party attempting to influence Tokyo but then they couldn't If anything, the kind of government Imperial Japan at the time was one that would royally piss off Emperor Meiji bcuz his restoration got disrespected real hard
I met Eugene Fluckey at the USNA bookstore in 2001. I bought his book (Thunder Below), which he autographed for me - writing an extended dedication. I later read a biography of this Great Man. In person, all those years later - he was EXACTLY how he was portrayed in both books....you can see why his crew was Absolutely Dedicated to this Man. He told me HIMSELF of the Sunken Train - describing the Train Cars being blown Sky High! As you can imagine, it was one of the greatest personal encounters of my life. I am Honored to have met this LEGEND! Scott Uehlinger CDR, USNR ret, USMMA '86
i would say the same. If my great grandfather didn't command the ill-fated Uss Shark ss-174. First submarine to be the flagship of the Asiatic Fleet when she ferried Admiral Thomas C Hart off of Manila . Shark is officially recognized as the first U.S. Submarine lost to enemy action in WWII. later in the war Shark 314 was commissioned and sunk making those two the only two submarines in ww2 to both sink with the same name
Fun fact: During his time as skipper of the submarine USS Barb, Lt. Commander Eugene Fluckey would reward his crew after a successful attack with a large cake that usually depicted their target sinking into a sea of frosting. On at least one instance, a Japanese sailor rescued from one of Barb’s victims was offered the first slice and allowed to cut the cake.
The animation is truly incredible, you feel right in the middle of the action and the storytelling is also amazing. Honestly in a few years Yarnhub is going to be a movie studio if you keep improving like that
You got yourself way too far with this one. This one was a great man. Congrats to you and your crew. They really did outdo them self with this one more content like this.
Agree completely, both that entire war patrol for the Barb and the one before it deserve to have full videos. Also, Richard O’Kane and the USS Tang need Yarnhub videos.
At this rate Yarnhub will be making world-class movies in a years time. Love seeing you guys improve over the years, you can tell that you guys have fun making these:)
I'm an old man, why do I have to satisfyingly watch all your cartoon videos in 4k every time it comes up? My kids laughs at me but it doesn't matter, it purely satisfies me.
Just started the video and already have to say, the ships blowing up into pieces was a very nice touch! I see the models are still getting even better!
I actually met Admiral Fluckey nearly 30 years ago, and my copy of Thunder Below is signed by him to me. Of all the books I own, it is the one I consider unreplaceable. I highly recommend the book to anyone who hasn't read it. I was pleased to see the inclusion in the video of a rocket attack by the Barb, as the rocket launcher was added to the sub only for it's final wartime deployment, and is another unique piece of the history of the Barb.
Last Christmas my wife's cousin gave us several books on WWII US Navy actions that had belonged to her father who had been a PT boat gunner in the South Pacific. One of these books was THUNDER BELOW, written by Admiral Flukey. The book recounts the many amazing adventures of the USS Barb and is an incredible read. Your recreation of the train incident closely follows the book's narrative. I highly recommend this nonfiction work to anyone. You won't be bored.
Video idea, have you heard about sub USS archerfish that sunk the mega carrier Shinano. The shinana was supposed to be another Yamato class but was switched due to the lacking support of Japanese carries
She was still Yamato class, she just dropped the "battleship" part due to the conversion, the only of the supposed 5 battleships to be a Yamato class Aircraft carrier, and the last of the 5 built, with hull 4 being scrapped and used convert to the Ise class into hybrids.
@@BattleshipOrion there was no yamato class aircraft carrier. the Shinano was a unique class of ship being a carrier based on a Yamato hull. that doesn't make her a Yamato class
That wasn’t why Shinano was converted to a carrier. In December 1941 the Japanese revamped their naval construction plans to put all further battleship construction on hold for now (this was shortly after Force Z); Yamato was already fully operational and Musashi had been launched at this point, but Shinano was still a very long way off from completion, so it was decided that they’d build her only to the point she could be launched so the dock she was in could be used for something else, and then decide what to do with her later. And then Midway happened. Now, Japan actually had a surprising number of carriers (including their two best carriers) in the field and a number of carriers under construction or planned ahead of time even before Midway, so Midway wasn’t actually this complete destruction of Japanese carrier power that people sometimes think it was (they didn’t even get rid of that many pilots-that was during Guadalcanal later on). But they still figured that this was as good an excuse as any to turn Shinano into a carrier.
One correction I would like to mention is that Cmdr fluckey already had the medal of honor as he led Barb on the last 5 out of 12 war patrols during the war receiving the medal of honor for taking the sub into and back out of a Japanese controlled harbor on the Chinese coast on the 4th while this event took place on the last patrol of the war.
The first most impressive submarine video from you guys i've ever watched. Now i'll wait for Ramage's Rampage, when USS Parche single-handedly BFG Divisioned an entire convoy.
I'd love to hear about this incident from the Japanese perspective. Did they think it was home-grown sabotage, or did they gather Americans had been there?
japanese citizen here, i completely think that imperial japan was wrong and that those americans were right to do what they did,it angers me to see people saying lies like we're not teaching kids about pearl harbor or unit731
One of the most daring and audacious acts of WW2. Flucky was almost held back on the BARBS last war patrol. He and the Admiral came to an understanding. What amazing foresight and daring. Thank-you Yarnhub! I've read the story of BARB, and you nailed it. Spot on.
It’s always been so crazy to me to think about how many different things/battles/skirmishes took place everyday, all over the world, over the course of the Second World War. I have learned so much history regarding World War II and I still did not know about this story! It’s one hell of a tale
0:51 Why is the traction rods no clipping through the cylinders? I love the story, but please do make sure these small details are dealt with, Im glad it only happened the first time we see it.
I knew of this story already from another channel I like, The Fat Electrician. Yarnhub went into far greater detail though, I only knew the sub and the commander's name before this, not the men of the ground expedition or the details like finding a sleeping guard. Also, the animations continue to get better and better, love the intro which reminded me of the Oceans franchise, or a Tarantino movie.
I love how they build on top of each other. Fat electrician gives you that introductory course with the “this kick ass thing happened” and yarn hub comes in and goes “now that I don’t have to explain the who, I’ll explain the how” I love it
Oh shit, yall did this video, I always wanted to see an animated rendition of it ever since I watched it on TheFatElectrician's video on this. Do yall think you could do a video on the SeaBee's train robbery during the Korean war next?
I’ve red Flucky’s memoir “Thunder Bellow” and this was by far the most entertaining part. I’m glad to see barb and Flucky getting the recognition they deserve
Great video as always Yarnhub! Video suggestion: years ago i read about a convoy heading to the soviet union that was attacked. One of the cargo ships unloaded it's Sherman tanks and used them as deck guns. I can't remember the convoy designation or ships name unfortunately. Maybe you could. The merchant marines were and are amazing people. First US casualties of WW2 before we were officially involved after all
Ask any US submariner today about a WW2 combat patrol that is considered a prelude to modern submarine combat operations today, they'll tell you that it's this patrol of USS Barb under Eugene Fluckey. The rocket strikes, the sabotage mission, it was a harbinger of things to come, a demonstration of what a submarine can do. And now, its now an essential capability that is being built in most, if not all submarines, whether diesel-electric or nuclear.
Wow just wow i can remember how your quality was 2.years ago its a day and night different i am amazed keep improving and dont stop making theese Legendary videos❤
Me: "Let's go to bed" UA-cam causally recommending the most interesting videos known to date on this platform, that's gonna keep me up for an extra 7 hours:
Very good. The Ocean's 11 meets Kelly's Heroes vibes in this episode were really amazing! The info graphic style like used in your Blitz videos was a nice touc as well.
Yarnhub really outdid themselves with this one, from what I’ve seen this is the first time they have animated a locomotive and it’s accurate. It would have been really fitting if the locomotive was a D51 type because it would be in service during the war (service life: 1936 - 1951) but despite this is the first train animation I’ve seen, it’s very well done.
Great video style! Made me laugh when the soldier called the Japanese guard a "Dude." I don't think that was what he actually called him, but demonetization....
What a great freaking story! So glad it was true. Like most, if not all of the stories that you share, you are one of my top three favorite channels on this platform by far and have been for quite some time. Thank you!
He did an amazing job and it’s just a train that has nothing to do with the story so it’s about the people in it and how it happened so He did a great job modeling everything your the best UA-camr and I watch every video you post and try to comment nice things so have a good day😊
The Smithsonian channel has a series called "Hell Below," where you can watch a more in-depth depiction of barbs exploits, as well as many other submarine stories of WWII. There's even an episode or two on the Cold War. I highly recommend it to anyone who thought a submarine crew blowing up a train was crazy, yes: this same crew did perform the first land attack from a submarine with rockets.
John Markuson was my grandfather. My uncle Robert Markuson was also a submariner. My uncle George Markuson was in the Air Force. Uncle Bobby still has the flag from the USS Barb.
I only wrote was because I never had thr please of Meeting him he passed away from a heart attack when my mom was only 15 in Princeton, NJ. He was a police officer after the war.

Can you see about doing a vid on fort drum in the Philippines during WWII aka "USS NO GO"
I love the “oceans style” assembly of the motley crew. I think it’s hilarious that the strike force is made up of submarine operators and not traditional soldiers.
it was awesome!!!
Including a cook! I laughed at that
the landing party was chosen one person from each section of the boat so that in the event they were all killed or captured it would not negatively impact the performance of any of the sections

Lived long enough to fly an admiral’s flag from the second (nuclear) USS Barb.
She may not be the tonnage queen but the fact her crew invaded Japan and blew up the train makes her my favorite US submarine.

I don’t know, the submarine alone may not be the biggest by tonnage but the weight of their balls certainly beat out the carriers for tonnage.
That ttiittllee broke my brain slightly when I first saw it (for all the people who couldn't handle me spelling title wrong I hope this is better)
@Yarnhub I’m a massive fan
Well Lucky Flucky/The Galloping Ghost of the China coast and his crew were both lucky and good

Great video style! Made me laugh when the soldier called the Japanese guard a "Dude." I don't think that was what he actually called him, but demonetization....
What a great freaking story! So glad it was true. Like most, if not all of the stories that you share, you are one of my top three favorite channels on this platform by far and have been for quite some time. Thank you!
He did an amazing job and it’s just a train that has nothing to do with the story so it’s about the people in it and how it happened so He did a great job modeling everything your the best UA-camr and I watch every video you post and try to comment nice things so have a good day😊

The Smithsonian channel has a series called "Hell Below," where you can watch a more in-depth depiction of barbs exploits, as well as many other submarine stories of WWII. There's even an episode or two on the Cold War. I highly recommend it to anyone who thought a submarine crew blowing up a train was crazy, yes: this same crew did perform the first land attack from a submarine with rockets.
John Markuson was my grandfather. My uncle Robert Markuson was also a submariner. My uncle George Markuson was in the Air Force. Uncle Bobby still has the flag from the USS Barb.
